Welcome to the Alvarak System escalation campaign map

My friends and I have been planning a system wide escalation campaign for a few years now and were finally starting. I've set up a blog about our progress and thought I'd link to anyone who was interested in having a look from here: http://alvaraksystemcampaign.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/welcome-to-alvarak-system.html

Have you and your groups ever run map campaigns and how did they go?

Arthur kindly had an amazing system map commissioned for us and it seems only right to start with it:

Made by battleboards.co.uk it's a thing of awe inspiring beauty. Their web address if you fancy checking them out is at:

My overview shot was a blurry mess so will add one later.  Here is a video of some of the making of this project. It's really very impressive and you can see how some of the board tiles light up and some pro brush control!

Here comes the image spam! Each of these will get a separate post with background, rules and a terrain list. Each planet has a hexagonal grid in perspex that both protects the tile and allows us to mark our progress during the campaign in little coloured perspex tiles. Genius.

There are also three system features that we may throw in if possible. The hulks could make for some zone mortalis. Asteroids? Who knows!
